Magnum Research Quality
Magnum Research is an American firearm company best known for developing and producing the gas-operated Desert Eagle pistol. Its catalog has expanded to include lightweight L5 and L6 Desert Eagles, Baby Desert Eagle service pistols, MR1911 handguns, stainless BFR single-action revolvers, and a range of centerfire and rimfire rifles.
The company's designs span unusually broad operating systems, from the Desert Eagle's rotating-bolt magnum-pistol action and the BFR's large-frame revolver architecture to SwitchBolt and Magnum Lite rimfire rifles. Mountain Eagle firearms and the MLR22 line add historical and precision-oriented models that extend the brand beyond its best-known large-caliber handguns.
